These games been so bad in Cleveland that I have yet to watch 1 second of the 2nd half in any of the 3 games in Cleveland

Oh Toronto

 

[WiggyRuss]

Love is at 16 and 10 and 42% from 3 in these playoffs.

Id say thats exactly what you want from him. Hes playing brilliantly tonight.

What a crazy series?

This is a wrap for Toronto. Even if they win game 6. They arent stealing game 7 in cleveland.

I would like to think miami could have at least stole 1 game in Cleveland

Not with our injury situation. I do think they would have competed more than Toronto though (in games in Cleveland). Considering our injury situation, Cleveland would have likely beat us in 5 but I feel like they would have needed to work really hard for 3 of the 4 wins

Boy, I was way off on this one. This is the worst blowout of them all in this series.

 

[lebron23james]

From a pure basketball standpoint? No.

From a we're going to see an epic meltdown from Cavs fans that will break the interwebz standpoint? Hell yes!!

Since the Lakers aren't in it...I want to see the meltdown.

I do enjoy a good meltdown

If the Warriors don't pull off the miracle (not impossible but sheesh) I'm rooting for Cleveland. That city is the most fucked sports town ever and it's not even close.

 

[WiggyRuss]

did Biyombo miss the team flight or something?

Not sure if it was a statement game. Toronto is a much different team away from Toronto in the playoffs

I have a feeling you do your best work playing with yourself.

nah, been married for a VERY long while. no need...

does sound like something YOU might excel at, though...in front of your LeBron glossy...

Glad I decided to go to the movies.
Raptors should be embarrassed by their road performances.
No shame in losing, but to not even be able to compete for more then a qtr or half is a different story.

Yeah that's the bad part. If the Raptors competed and ended up losing by 9-12 points then I wouldn't even be upset but to not show up in any of the games played in Cleveland to the extent that all 3 games were done by halftime is pretty embarrassing

1. The hottest shooter in the building was soaking his feet in an ice bucket while LeBron James and Kyrie Irving dressed for the podium late Wednesday night. Kevin Love broke out of his shooting funk with a terrific night, then shot down the idea of going to the podium and instead enjoyed his lengthy postgame routine in silence while James and Irving even made the long walk down the corridor and into the interview room inside Quicken Loans Arena.

The question is will Love game travel? Or will he continue to be Toronto version of Biyombo and leave his game in Cleveland?

well through the first 8 games he was the only player in the entire playoffs that had a double double EVERY SINGLE GAME - so i think he should be fine.

As we saw- its only be done a couple times in history- sweeping through an entire conference. Love has played well in about 9- 11 of the 13 playoff games the Cavs have played. Thats a lot better ratio than that bum Draymond Green! lol.

 

[WiggyRuss]

and i think its more about the Raptors backs being up against the wall is when they play well.

They won road playoff games in both of their first two series. They always seemed to play their best when they HAVE TO regardless of whether its on the road or at home- in my opinion anyway. Now- beating the Cavs at home is a MUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCH different thing than beating the Pacers or HEat at home- thats for sure----- but i would normally think the Cavs close out tomorrow but like i said- these guys always seem to play their best when they absolutely have to....itll be interesting to see whther they keep it up.

It's not unusual at all for Love to look good during blowout wins.
His MO is to not show up when it matters it close games.
Wasn't he just benched the entire 4th qtr in game 4?
He'll be needed in the Finals.
